Playing the game depression quest was quite interesting as I have never read or played something that seems so familiar to me and my lifestyle, at times it felt like the game was holding out a mirror to my face. The game was quite eye-opening as well, at times I noticed that the options to try to make things better for the character were unavailable, owing to the depressive nature of a mind that does not allow for growth to take place under any circumstances. The feeling of being unworthy is also very well demonstrated in the game when the character seems to doubt every single aspect of their life and constantly tries to justify every ‘worth it’ component of their life. The game reminded me of the Elliot Smith song Between the Bars which sings, “the things you could do you won't but you might the potential you'll be that you'll never see the promises you'll only make.” The format of the game is well developed as well as you put yourself in the character’s shoes, I learned that even when I tried to make the character do things that could have a positive impact on them (being social, opening up, adopting a cat) I realized that nothing really helps except the acceptance stage and going to therapy. I also realized that actualizing the character’s wants in working on their long-awaited self-motivated project seemed to help to get the depression down from severe to moderate. Additionally, I realized that it was only constant efforts of trying to get better that helped the character and that avoidance was not the way to go. In the beginning, I tried to push the options that I would have taken which usually led the character to the same negative feedback loop, however, once I actively tried to pick options that would objectively be better for the character, they seemed to be getting better and to the point where they were taking steps in the positive direction. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and feel that it spreads a lot of awareness about a depressed mind and would definitely suggest it to people I know, as in my country mental health is treated as a taboo and never spoken of.
